Not directly from Oppo you won't. You will have to buy the player from places that mod them or with a DIY mod-kit that is available to purchase online separately.

That said, it isn't completely out of the question that the UK set is region-free so this may not be an issue.

If you've got £80 spare, will be in London on 6th Sept, and have a kipper tie, a jacket with huge lapels, a paisley shirt or a polyester safari suit http://www.networkdvd.net/product_in...oducts_id=1416

The specs on Networks page show it will be locked to region B. I emailed Network as well and they confirmed this too.

Huge bummer.

If A&E Home Video does do a Region A release of the series, I'm guessing they will drop all of the extras. Just like they did for the DVD sets. I ended up importing the Network DVD set of The Persuaders.

Anyway... I hope I'm wrong.

A&E Home Video is impossible to reach. Wish I had a decent contact or that they would care a bit more about following up with their customers. I sent them an email message, but they do not respond.

That may not be necessarily true since their website states both Robin of Sherwood and Space 1999 being region B yet the BD discs in these sets are region free. Any e-mail confirmation may be equally flawed in that regard as well.

Looks like they moved the YT link to the video preview..

I'm so excited, anything with Roger Moore is a win/win for me!

Are you picking up a region free blu ray player for the set?

First let's see if we get a US release through A&E or if the discs are region free. Now bring on The Avengers dammit!
